From: Characterization of the zinc metalloprotease of Streptococcus suis serotype 2

Figure 8

Presence of Zmp does not influence the colonization potential of S. suis serotype 2 in a pig model of infection. Bacterial concentrations recovered in the tonsils (A) or trachea (B) of piglets infected with either the wild-type strain P1/7 (WT) or its Δzmp mutant. No differences in colonization of the upper respiratory tract of piglets were observed following infection with the Δzmp mutant. Each point represents an individual animal.
